Hi Anita - you could be right but here are the book details note dec 2010 date. I would think they are correct but Amazon not having it is a worry. Although it seems to be available in many book stores in the US.

BTW I ordered the Murano Glass 1910-1970: Theme and Variations by Marc Heiremans. Will see if that arrives OK, it was 20% cheaper than anywhere else I could find it. The SVDA book is 65 pounds + shipping which is reasonable in Australia ie $US106 +$13 shipping.

Hi all, I contacted Marc via his website in August last year after seeing his Seguso book listed as available on a website (I forget which one) to see if it was actually available. This was his response at the time:

"No, the information is incorrect. The book will be released only in 2013 in conjunction with a travelling exhibition throughout Europe."

I guess that means the book won't be widely available. I am giving up on it. The book has been dangled like a carrot for years. There must be something wrong with it that they plan a release, then don't release it several times now. I was able to cancel my order at Waterstone, so no problem. But I sure wish we had a good VdA book.

The problem might be with the publisher rather than with the quality of the book - Arnoldsche also mucked about with a series of three books on WMF. Volumes 1 & 2 were published, and are both excellent texts, but Vol. 3 vanished into the ether after a few promised-but-unfulfilled release dates.

If, for some reason, it does only get sold through venues hosting the exhibition, it might become available through the individual venue websites. I've managed to get a few exhibition-only books from various galleries' online shops when I've not had chance to visit them in person.
